We're Not Gonna Take It: Favorite Resistance Quotes from the Quail Bell Crew

Like many in America and the world, we are hurting. Systematic racism is a widely proven and known societal ill. Sadly, many still deny the presence of blatant hatred that still consumes our world. People who were friends and neighbors show their true intentions through persistent denial of their own privileges in society. That should never stop us from resisting white supremacy and fascism at our doorstep. Together, the Quail Bell Crew has compiled some of their favorite quotes that motivate them to speak out against bigotry. We encourage you to read and share with anyone in need of a boost. ​

"Now the end is at hand. Now it is our task to find one another again, to spread information from person to person, to keep a steady purpose, and to allow ourselves no rest until the last man in persuaded of the urgent need of his struggle against this system. When thus a wave of unrest goes through the land, when 'it is in the air', when many join the cause, then in a great final effort this system can be shaken off. After all, and end in terror is preferable to terror without end."

-The White Rose, Leaflet #2

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

-Martin Niemoller

Christopher Sloce, Staff Writer

"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; he hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword; his truth is marching on.

Recently he found out about a guy I slept with when we were separated and I did not tell him about. Before we got married we both agreed to let everything out and start fresh. I didn’t tell him. I was embarrassed bc the guy and I never actually had sex…just everything that led up to it. not to mention it was my brothers best friend and a huge mistake. well it came out recently along with some lies. A friend told my husband I cheated on him and I have never cheated on my husband nor would I ever.
